Bad - no it´s spamming. Who told this guy how to make a screenshot?
You can always overdo things. Like this skullflame guy posting tonns of rubbish backgrounds.

Right. Actually, a little thread on "what excuses have you seen while playing?" might otherwise serve as some idle tron-related amusement. But, I think what irks us is the way he did it in combination with the other couple posts he's made recently with screenshots of in-game, shall we say, hijinks. Dude, if you're having and/or creating petty little beefs with other players, why are you bringing it here? Shoo, fly.

(By the way, should I ask for an explanation on the "bash for armagetron" thing, or just let it go as an extremely geek joke, heh? :wink: )

Worst excuse i've ever heard, has a lot of variations, here's a few:
"lag"
"LAG!"
"LAGGGG"
"llllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggg"
"LAG!!!!!!1!!!!!1!111oneone"
"_ has left the game"

on the other hand, dylan, you're not too good at you know... being personable.

Obviously you're trying to get us some chuckles and whatnot out of your numerous screenshots. err nnnnuuuummmmmmmeeeeerrrrrrouuuuuuussssss screenshots (i wonder if your screen button is broken, actually, i imagine yuor keyboard has a long sucession of broken buttons all of which are now retired screenshot buttons)

Part of making a good joke, however, is changing the joke to fit your audience. And you might have noticed, but the audience on the forums is not the audience on the grid. Sabarai doesn't even play! So, i dunno... work on it, work on it. And don't be confrontational. It's just weird on the internet. I think titnass had it in his sig "Arguing on the internet is like the special olympics: even if you win, you're still a retard." Best policy, imo

Oh yea, and the Really General portion is really for Really General AND Unrelated to Tron.Just about everything with a cycle goes in General :)

And Dylan, um, get your mom to put you on some valium or something. Or stop consuming so much sugar. One or the other.

When it comes to humor, be sure to use a test audience before you make it public. This is in fact the Really General section, meaning this is really supposed to be unrelated to Armagetron.
Your screenshots, try and get your hands on photoshop.

But just to stay on topic.

The lamest excuse I've heard? All of them.

I've come to find that this can be true in some cases.
When playing against coffeee in shrunkland for instance. Me and a few others refer to the higher pinged players as "fatties". The "fatties" have ping rubber to their advantage so they (if they know how to use it) can get out of tighter spots and tunnel more easily in low rubber servers. Also there is predictability factor. I find that when up against someone with a high ping it's harder than normal to predict where they actually are, compared to where they are on my screen. They jump in front of you like magicians.
As well, I think that a player whose ping is constantly high has an advantage over players that get a large ping in certain servers. If I get a high ping I'm completely screwed up because I'm not used to the way it plays, and therefore don't have to practice with that type of play.
Of course all this is relevant to individual player skill and servers. And I don't think it's a very good excuse. (even though I like to get mad and call coffeee a fatty a lot) :D
